Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Sean Parker Net Worth Skyrockets
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – You know Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, but do you know also Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Sean Parker? Today you will, with Forbes making news about the skyrocketing net worth of its other Facebook billionaires.
In fact, one of the men is making news for becoming the youngest billionaire on Forbes’ Rich list, and his name is not Mark.
Forbes tells news today that Dustin Moskovitz is now the world’s youngest billionaire. He makes that distinction by jumping onto Forbes’ annual Rich List and being eight days younger than former Harvard roommate Mark Zuckerberg.
Together Zuckerberg and Moskovitz dropped out of Harvard, and moved west. Once in California, Dustin Moskovitz became Facebook’s third employee. He was named the company’s first Chief Technology Officer and VP of Engineering. But if you are go looking for Dustin in the halls of Facebook, you won’t find him, reports Forbes. In 2008, he left the company to start Asana. Insiders claim that he sold his one percent stake in the company last year and still has a five percent stake. In the film The Social Network, he was played by Joseph Mazzello. Forbes values his net worth today at $2.7 billion.
Sean Parker’s name might sound a bit familiar. As Facebook’s first Presidnet, he was played by Justin Timberlake in the film. His net worth is estimated at $1.6 billion according to Forbes today. He was the “Silicon Valley veteran who joined Facebook in 2004 as its founding president and helped it navigate initial funding” reports Forbes to news. He previously founded Napster and Plaxo. He may have joined in 2004, but left the company one year later, with an astounding 4% stake now heading to a $2 billion valuation.
Finally, Eduardo Saverin was played by Andrew Garfield in the film. He was the best friend of Zuckerberg that co-founded Facebook together. Saverin reportedly gave the seed money initially. At one point, Saverin had a thirty-three percent share of the company, reports Forbes to news today. But when Moskovitz joined, his stake dropped to thirty percent. He didn’t make the move to California, lawsuits erupted. He reportedly now has a 5% stake in the company. But Forbes tells news that he has been selling shares in the last year and may now have only a 2% equity stake.
